Advantages: Must-go Italian city Disadvantages: No
In my last trip to Italy, I stayed in Florence for one and a half day. Let me share with you my fantastic experience of Florence.

Advantages: an excellent garden Disadvantages: The furniture of the rooms coul be better, no restaurant

The Hotel Castri is a three stars hotel, with no restaurant, 70 rooms, all with en suite facilities, TVcolor, direct telephone,air conditioning/heating, smoke and fire detector.
